Your Pathway to Permanent Residence

Employer sponsorship provides one of the most reliable pathways to permanent residence for construction and trades workers in Australia.

01
Subclass 482 — Skills in Demand Visa

Your employer sponsors you on a temporary basis. Most construction and trades occupations fall under the Core Skills stream, providing a structured pathway to permanence.

02
Skills Assessment and Licensing

Many trades occupations require a skills assessment and Australian licensing or registration. We advise on the correct pathway for your occupation before lodgement.

03
Subclass 186 — Permanent Residence

After meeting the required period of employment on a 482 visa, you can apply for permanent residence through the 186 ENS Temporary Residence Transition stream.
